Action Figure Graveyard is a comic that is already over, essentially.  It ran for about 2 years spawning 48 full-page comics.  We had our own site, got a modest amount of hits, and things were fine.  Then we got put on Digg.

Ordinarily this is a good thing, as it means widespread exposure for your work.  Unfortunately, my webhost did not see it that way.  When I signed up for the site I thought I had unlimited bandwidth.  I specifically searched for providers based on that condition.  So I thought, for years, that I did actually have unlimited bandwidth, when in fact I had the OPPOSITE of "unlimited", also known as "limited."

The site was taken down, and the only way to put it back up was to pay a rather hefty monthly sum for a higher bandwidth package.  Annual revenue from the comic was a robust $0, so that wasn't going to happen.  I agreed to take down the comic, the source of the traffic, in exchange for keeping my site and paying the same amount I was before.

So I'm creating an archive on this site where fans of the comic can see old episodes again, and perhaps where new viewers can gradually StumbleUpon the fruits of our labor.
